After the destruction of Denver, Colorado by a nuclear explosion, Mayor Green leads the effort in preparing for the worst, though several characters have called into question his leadership capabilities. During an evacuation to a fallout shelter, his wife Gail discovers him unconscious in his office. He was treated at the shelter and appeared to regain consciousness, and the cause of his collapse was initially revealed to be a case of the flu, however evidence in later episodes points to it being a more serious respiratory ailment.

Little is known about Mayor Green's background, but in the pilot episode he states that he has lived in many cities and countries, indicating a background involving travel. In addition, in Episode Three, Four Horsemen, during a confrontation with his political opponent Gray Anderson, Mayor Green strikes him in the solar plexus with a particular palm-strike that seems to indicate martial arts training at some point in his life. In Episode Five, Federal Response, Mayor Green is shown donning firefighter bunker gear, indicating that he is a firefighter, possibly a member of Jericho's Volunteer Fire Department.
